Currently I use Vic Firth American Classic Metal N Sticks. Audio was recorded with a caraoke microphone placed in front of the drumset. I learned this technique as well as my foot technique from the moldavian drummer Peza Boutnari.

A couple of days ago my facebook page reached 1000 likes and my KZbin channel got 10 000 subscribers!

[@ericcartman9199]

Wanja [Nechtan] Gröger should've said a big TANK you

[@mawagahjuntos9140]

First thanks a lot for this great video !!! How long does it take to be able to do this ? (not as fast though... ;) How many mn/hrs of daily practice? Thanks

[@makaistanley6490]

@Dean Roy Instablaster :)

[@deanroy1747]

@Makai Stanley Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@deanroy1747]

@Makai Stanley it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my ass :D

[@MrApocalisse]

that vehicle at the beginning is extremely over the top and really fucking metal \m/

[@deftones3138]

+MrApocalisse like literally really metal

[@flz02]

BRUTAL! lml lml lml

[@viciousbloodbath]

This guy does not run out of ammo.

[@iiiwwwooo4168]

He is pure machinegunner

[@iiiwwwooo4168]

I want this guy to play in my band😊

[@Sir_Catnip]

that spin in the chair at the beginning is one of the best intros I've ever seen....lmao

[@justthink2827]

😂😂

[@pawelmorrison]

When you want to learn a fill for a Led Zeppelin song and end up having to learn blast beats. Dammit Bonham...

[@joaopedrorao31]

Which led song?

[@corpseplayground1949]

joaopedrorao31 prolly dazed and confused

[@michaelb.42112]

HAHAHAHA now THAT is funny.

[@talktalktalktalktalk]

It is not a complete waste of time if it keeps you from wanting to invade Poland.

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

+talktalktalktalktalk That was actually the first good joke I read in the comment section! :-D

[@OWitbroke]

talktalktalktalktalk aww really

[@americafuckyea2789]

not everyone can appreciate the finesse involved with this style of drumming. their loss. great job nechtan, you manage to keep things simple and humble, yet your ability is clearly outstanding.

[@Heka41]

that kit is shaking like a Mexican space shuttle

[@temeadler]

Hahha this cracked me up!!! Is it wrong? Bc I'm Mexican hahahha

[@nineoneoh]

haha shaking so much

[@GraduatedIn]

Well duh. He’s on a storage container with flexible metal roofing

[@rogger55]

i'm mexican and i'm offended, we don't even have space shuttles.... hahaha

[@davidmartinezbragado4598]

You do know you don't have to be an asshole to be funny, right?

[@LilDeuceDeuce]

05:20 FUCK YEAH BLAST BEAT THAT BOOK WOOOOOO

[@takiyon]

damn, only one like after two years lmao

[@AidanMmusic96]

1) LilDeuceDeuce is here, love it! 2) Even funnier than the book is Lords of Chaos.

[@TheAndrumming]

you're talking like a Sensei. This is an awesome technique. You're awesome

[@Aaron_Gentry]

I have got to say, those drumsticks with the red tip look like giant matchsticks :D

[@tdawg22345]

Aaron Gentry Vic Firth American Classic Metal I think.

[@sjang816]

t-dawg i thought they were tommy lee signature series, like early 90s?

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

nycjin816 Vic Firth American Classic Metal with nylon tips ;-)

[@BrianHarrisDrummer]

I have been using same sticks since 1995. I can't imagine anything lighter or thinner. Doing blasts without that weight and diameter would be much harder for me.

[@Thelastofadyingbreed]

+MorganvanHelsing The Metal N's yeah?

[@lord_skavenger]

Dude this is by far the best totorial on youtube. Thank you so much I'm actually getting better with practice!

[@beh.r_co-mando.1374]

Clicks on video, wanting to learn how to blast beat. *APC SHOWS UP*

[@nicholasgrisa747]

Man you arrived on that armored truck, and then you played on a roof top explaining your own blast technique! Cool as fuck haha love it!

[@ikarooz]

I've seen many vids concerning blast beat technique over the year and finally found yours. Great, straight forward instruction, without being condescending. My band will be very happy. Thank you!

[@butchcassidy3373]

I tried this for the first time tonight. Doing pretty good with it for an old guy. Thanks for your time and effort. You keep posting tutorials, I'll keep watching.

[@behindthen0thing]

Hmm

[@RTSFromHell]

Just realizing that this is possible just made my pants tighter

[@Zentabes]

Man this is the sickest blast beat I've ever listened to, nice!

[@Tenshin66]

You don't hear Germans with this accent much anymore. It's a cool accent

[@black_platypus]

I used to hate hearing my fellow countrymen's accents, but Werner Herzog absolutely changed my mind about that, showing me that it can sound really beautiful at times, especially when it's a cool person with the vocabulary to support it :)

[@sccrash420]

This is excellent! Finally, a hybrid push-pull technique (by adding the wrists for power) that works for death metal. Thumbs up!

[@black_platypus]

...and down... and up... and down Yeah, you got it ;P

[@halosakte1946]

Dude, thank you i've been learning this technique for 1 month and Wow it is insanely a million times better than the flying fingers technique. You're a great inspiration brother

[@jannebirkelands3874]

Wanja [Nechtan] Gröger Amazing tutorial. Y&ou are a natural born at teaching I believe! Very precise rhythm!!

[@lediabolique5822]

One of the best instructional videos I've ever seen. Thank you Morgan.

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

Check out my new tutorial about Coordination Exercises: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYKYn3V5oa5gadE

[@nenissaK]

+MorganvanHelsing Great! Btw have you ever considered wfd??

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

nenissaK nor really - it is more a US thing and travelling the whole way just for that competition seems a bit pointless to me ;-)

[@nenissaK]

MorganvanHelsing True, true... btw how fast can you go cleanly 16 bars 4/4 "flat foot" or "floating" or "heel-only"? Around 200, 210, 220? 'cause 200 is absolute max for me and I have to be all sweaty if I'm going to do that and still not everyday, and max twice before my muscles become totally exhausted.. (that's why I now started with your style, I'm giving myself one year to get to 200 relatively cleanly).

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

nenissaK My abilities with the mentioned techniques are very limited. Heel down maybe 180bpm, heel up around 190-200bpm. Heel-toe double strokes 220bpm.

[@nenissaK]

MorganvanHelsing Yeah, makes sense. I guess there's a point behind your main technique. My goal is to achieve 200 cleanly in one year with your technique - I have no idea if I'm gonna make it but I'll try anyways. Thanks for response!

[@titobalkani8240]

Your skills are amazing man. I've honestly never seen anything like it. I'm inspired, thanks for this vids they are helping through a really hard time in my life.🤘

[@MrLaughs4you]

i don't play drums, but if i could do this i would be happy

[@MrBrfreeman]

Wanja [Nechtan] Gröger is there a name to this technique?

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

@@MrBrfreeman push-pull technique!

[@maverick315]

Вань, ты как у немцев оказался?)

[@guitar74man]

Not even a drummer but still found this interesting and informative

[@systempsychovoid]

I saw this one on 2015 just for curiosity to learn a new technique, I use finger tradi technique but this one is really good i remember i just learned right-handed and slow, but I tried last days and I'm almost there! So i came to re-watch the whole channel to feed my technical with your knowledge.

[@Ouski]

Thank you for this. This is totally awesome. The fills that you can do with this sound amazing.

[@averyellis]

I am not really even a big fan of this kind of music, but that tutorial was supreme.

[@waltergardner7168]

INCREDIBLE STICK CONTROL !

[@mikuspalmis]

I learned this technique about ten years ago, but this is an impressive application you have demonstrated here.

[@VictorSch08]

Best blast beat and drum tutorial I've seen so far :D

[@BunditChoeiprasertToon]

OMG !!! Thank for this technique. I love it

[@peterhughes614]

Thank you for sharing this incredible technique with us. Cheers!

[@Jake_IBS]

Great video man, from the tank to the 2nd story playing and great technique

[@alvaropedreros392]

Very nice work! I'll put on practice what you have taught! thanks a lot!

[@ryaneaddy5436]

On your next video, you should start it off sitting on a tiger. And wonderful technique.

[@uranuss]

I started watching Wanja ever since this series of push-pull technique and the match-stick drum stick. of course, the rover at the beginning of the video is also essential.

[@mikebrowning88]

This is incredibly helpful. Thank you!

[@garibaldi547]

Very good pedagogic video about "open-close". it helped me a lot( and i'm not a metal drummer) Thank you.

[@shadow12348]

This is genius! Awesome technique man!

[@dual322]

Great video, ive been playing for 10+ years and this helped me. :)

[@theprimagen]

when you play Fast your drum kit twerks. You are really good man very inspiring

[@BCBenny]

dude you got some killer speed awesome!!

[@frumpadumpf5173]

Lol it kinda sounds like a diesel engine idling haha

[@mikuspalmis]

Ian Jim Lol good god

[@leonardoalbertojimenezpere2828]

Excelente arribo amigo.

That was HILARIOUS !!!

[@holi771]

great blasting btw!

[@FlamingSteed]

I watched this vid again now after a few years and it really helped me to stop drumming like an old man with parkinsons and arthritis. Now my hands/wrists/fingers are more fluid.

[@theSnaredrumde]

Man kann süchtig werden. Extrem eigenständiger Sound. Außergewöhnlich!

[@BluntAnims]

Crazy technique!!! You make it look so easy I want to learn, I'm too used to blasting traditionally though, but this would make me faster if I get the hang of it.

[@wayneman6199]

This is madness!!!! Awesome!!!

[@josanro]

This is just amazing!

[@claudiobirnbaum3943]

Great job

[@Bnat36]

I started working on this technique yesterday and i can do it slow/mid tempo. its going to take some time before I can use it on the kit but it will be worth it because I love it!

[@ohreallynao8030]

what a machine.. thats incredible dude. ive always struggled with blasting. id have a completely different arsenal of drumming if i could manage to get it down. seeing you just reminds me how far away i am.

[@ChainsawGutsFuck]

This blast technique is ridiculously good for speed and efficiency... I just can't get over the "cool kid" shots, lounging about on motorbikes and engine blocks, haha

[@galaxie666]

echt grandios, wie geil. das werd ich direkt am anfangen zu üben ;)

[@fotismavroudakis7779]

Dude your playing sounds like a chopper's engine is starting. Amazing video tutorial, and a sick blastbeat skill for sure, Great job!

[@etilcareh]

Absolutely awesome...

[@ninort666]

Awesome video dude! Hails from switzerland!

[@Eagles.Fan.Since.Super.Bowl.52]

Pure Genius!

[@claudiogarciafumig]

Muchas gracias por la valiosa ayuda e, información !, Hermano musical. .🇨🇱✌️

[@rocketqueen7355]

German grip 🔥🔥🔥 This is so far the best explanation how to stroke (Pushing stick with your finger towards the head)

[@Michael-uw3lk]

You're a wicked good drummer, man! Thanks for the vid

[@calypso1145]

Bye bye flying finger technique... Good video... Superb control and amazing speed... Btw... nice ride😎😎

[@forrisonjard8986]

Nice, thanks bro

[@Akiachrounoumena]

phenomenal.

[@michaelhanelt7692]

Hi Wanja! Ich bin Schlagzeug-Neuling und ein etwas älteres Semester. Ich tue mich noch wahnsinnig schwer mit sämtlichen Techniken. Danke für deine ausführlichen Erklärungen. Sollte ich deine Double strokes jemals hinbekommen gebe ich ne Kiste Bier aus.

[@gaargy1]

that was insanely fast and powerful.

[@iLostmyrealname]

I've been using the "Moeller" technique for years and thought this was just an augmented version. I was very wrong, thank you for this man. Also nice APC. \m/

[@Kalbsgrinder]

Die 2. Technik mit dem Daumen gefällt mir echt gut... Cooles Video! Werde mich demnächst mal dransetzen und üben. \m/ Du hast mich wieder zum Schlagzeugspielen motiviert. :D

[@sadajiwa]

this is sick!!!!

[@mortem7819]

Excellent. 💀

[@dROcITYkING11]

wow the intro, most metal thing ive ever seen

[@elguaripolo686]

WANJAAAA I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THANKS DUDE, GREETINGS lml

[@KenZ919]

[@gnusmas1914]

[@crazybutcool5150]

I need to get one of those iron containers to play on top of as well. Awesome!!

[@bestiaonthedrums]

jo jo mayer techniques applied on extreme metal... very good!!!

[@golfprochen]

Brilliant!

[@gorebubbleproductions4159]

I'm pretty sure that's the Lords of Chaos book he's blasting on. I recognize the color of the cover and the letters that say "lor.."

[@EddiePassions]

Wanja you’re great

[@Ratanaz696]

Excelente!!! Eres un maestro!!! Saludos desde Perú!!!! lml

[@AumBaba420]

Very interesting, this technique may have a lack of power imo but it's definitly interesting in view to add this way of blast beat to others, it seems very thrifty in energy and it's also pleasant to watch =) good job!

[@EILEISKA]

Now this is totally something I've never seen before. It looks just fucked up but still works and it really makes sense, awesome!

[@CarAudioInc]

good god that was entertaining and skillful af

[@KAOTSOUKI]

Too good.

[@nightcrawler1643]

Thnx many many thnx ..u help a lot brother :D

[@damianneve]

This is the answer to the question I asked you on ig! I figured out my own version of this last year. similar with open close with the stick spinning but without the thumb I just drop it like a lazy fk lol I was a guitar major in college so it was good enough for me 😆 thx for the tip!

[@vincentdelmas2792]

super pédago ton tuto bro !!

[@alexeykool3569]

GREAT!!!

[@Vesaniah4]

Thumbs up in rememberance of the fallen 8''

[@graysonjd5624]

I love that your pad is on Lords of Chaos.
